The TeSeE® western blot kit is a high-performance tool for transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) confirmation.

Ultrasensitive Method

The TeSeE western blot kit uses the same principle for the purification step as the Bio-Rad rapid ELISA tests, with preliminary purification and concentration by centrifugation of the abnormal PrP (PrPSc). PrPSc is then detected using a western blot technique. The high PrP affinity of the new monoclonal antibody provides a highly sensitive test.

The TeSeE western blot kit is recognized worldwide by experts as an effective tool for confirmation of suspected TSE cases.

Suitable for Various Animal Species

The TeSeE western blot kit can efficiently detect PrPSc in various infected animal species:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle

BSE or scrapie (including Nor98 and atypical scrapie) in sheep and goats

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) in cervids

High-Resolution Capacity

The remarkable resolution of the TeSeE western blot kit provides accurate positioning and identification of the PrPSc band pattern.

Fully Integrated Solutions

The TeSeE western blot kit is fully compatible with Bio-Rad equipment for protein electrophoresis, protein transfer, and immunoblotting.

Assay type
